On Thursday, TheWrap broke the news that Jamie Foxx may play Martin Luther King Jr. in a biopic that Oliver Stone is in talks to direct for DreamWorks and Warner Bros.
Film reporter Jeff Sneider delves into the race to bring a MLK movie to the big screen, with Paul Greengrass and Ava DuVernay prepping their own projects.

David Oyelowo is attached to star in DuVernay's "Selma," which she inherited from "The Butler" director Lee Daniels, while Greengrass reportedly cast an Atlanta-based preacher who passed away in recent months.
